Take Care Luda

Game General

Description 📖

You take care of Luda and her essential needs. If she wants something or she feels like she's had enough, she'll let you know. If you leave her alone for a while, she will not take care of herself. What a lazy bum! Everyone needs sleep and that includes Luda. She's asleep from 11pm to 7am.

Controls 🎮

click the buttons to take care of Luda. Click the screen to switch camera angles. In the bottom left there's a reset button.

Missed Features 🔐

Some features that were planned but couldn't be made in time:
- More facial expressions for different interactions.
- Blinking of the eyes
- The hair got scaled incorrectly after the models were imported by Unity.
- I wanted to add a little camera wobble to make it look less static.
- I wanted some sound effects for switching cams and pressing buttons.
I started very late and had only 15min left to spare in the end. This is not a lot of work but it's still too much to achieve in 15 minutes. Originally I also planned for Luda to take potty breaks but I scrapped that entirely.

Disclaimer ‼️

The compo states one has to work alone but unfortunately I can not provide voice overs for female characters. I asked a friend to do the voice acting.

Bugs 👾

Open:
- I didn't account for `OnApplicationQuit()` not working on the web player and also didn't account for the game pausing when the player is inactive.

Fixed:
- Day night cycle was broken (nothing major... I only changed `86400 / DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalSeconds` into `DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalSeconds / 86400`)
